How to Use Dictation to Write a First Draft Faster

If you want to write more than one book a year, dictation can help you draft faster, temporarily mute your internal editor, and free up time for revision, readers, and balancing the rest of your life.

I’m Heidi McCahan, a Publishers Weekly bestselling romance author, and dictation is one of the essential tools I use to draft and publish multiple books a year.

A neat clutter free workspace is ideal for a writer who wants to use dictation to write a first draft faster.

I don’t use dictation because I’m obsess

“We don’t need more facts to find the purpose and kindness and unselfishness we long for; we need a firmly seated faith, a few good friends, and a couple of trustworthy reminders.”

“Decide in advance that you will do whatever it takes to get your heart right, and then do it- even if it will kill all previous versions of you. You need to ask yourself what makes your heart beat in ways that make you stronger, more courageous, more giving, and more loving. Figure out what makes your heart skip a beat with joy and what makes it miss a beat with disfunction and distraction.”
― Bob Goff, Undistracted: Capture Your Purpose. Rediscover Your Joy.
